Heirol's Steely potato masher is specially designed for making mashed potatoes but can also be used to puree vegetables like carrots or parsnips. You can mash vegetables straight in the pot since the head of the Steely masher is made of nylon which will not damage coated saucepans. The handle is made of steel and filled with plastic to prevent dirt or water from getting inside the handle – so the handle is not only durable but also extremely hygienic.
